Important SafeguardS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
Read all InstRuctIons BefoRe use
• Useirononlyforitsintendeduse.
• Toprotectagainstriskofelectricshock,donotimmersetheironinwaterorotherliquids.
• TheFabricSelectDialandSteamLevershouldalwaysbeturnedtoOFFbeforepluggingorunplugging
fromoutlet.Neveryankcordtodisconnectfromoutlet;instead,graspplugandpulltodisconnect.
• Donotallowcordtotouchhotsurfaces.Letironcoolcompletelybeforestoring.Loopcordlooselyaround
ironwhenstoring.
• Alwaysdisconnectironfromelectricaloutletwhenfillingwithwater,cleaning,emptyingorwhennotinuse.
• Donotoperateironwithadamagedcordoriftheironhasbeendroppedordamaged.Toavoidtheriskof
electricshock,donotdisassembletheiron.Takeittoanauthorizedservicecenterforexaminationand/or
repair.Incorrectreassemblycancauseariskofelectricshockwhenironisused.
• Closesupervisionisnecessaryforanyappliancebeingusedbyornearchildren.Donotleaveiron
unattendedwhilepluggedin,turnedonoronanironingboard.
• Burnscanoccurfromcontactwithhotmetalparts,hotwaterorsteam.Usecautionwhenyouturnasteam
ironupsidedown–theremaybehotwaterinthereservoir.
• Iftheironisnotoperatingnormally,disconnectfromthepowersupplyandhavetheironservicedbyan
authorizedservicecenterorcallCustomerServiceat1(800)458-8407.

ironisdesignedtorestontheheelrest.Donotleavetheironunattended.
Donotsettheirononanunprotectedsurface,evenifitisontheheelrest.
• Thisisahighwattageappliance.Toavoidacircuitoverload,donotoperateanotherhighwattage
applianceonthesamecircuit.
• Ifanextensioncordisabsolutelynecessary,a15-amperecordshouldbeused.Cordsrated
forlessamperagemayoverheat.Careshouldbetakentoarrangetheextensioncordsothat
itcannotbepulledortrippedover.
For Products Purchased in the United States and Canada
Toreducetheriskofelectricalshock,thisappliancehasapolarizedplug(one blade is wider
than the other).Thisplugfitsapolarizedoutletonlyoneway;iftheplugdoesnotfitfully
intotheoutlet,reversetheplug.Ifitstilldoesnotfit,contactaqualifiedelectrician.Donotattempttodefeatthis
